the first time i realized
i smiled
then ten seconds later
I cringed
wondering how did I end up here? again
or does again apply
when before it was blind and misguided
this time my path has been navigated
tested tried and true this pathis in no way reminiscent of the past
although comparisons are wrong, there are no similarities to be found here
as if like clockwork you prove that
each one before was wrong

I must say I would love to thank them
for they were the catalysts of the "do not" list
and without them I wouldn't have taken
the chance, to "do" you
I even wonder sometimes if I bit off more than I can chew
because with you
I finally have what I asked for
which scares me more?
sometimes wondering if I measure up
to my own expectations
a challenge worth my time
for a love with no limits.
